GENTLEMEN PREFER BLOKES
Written by Phil Scott, Tony Taylor, Shane Jenek and Trevor Ashley
Choreography by Cameron Mitchelll
After a hugely successful sell-out season at the 2009 Mardi Gras Festival Trevor, Courtney and Virginia are returning to the Civic Hotel Underground for two shows before they whip off to the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
Screen sirens Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell had it all! They were glamorous, could belt out a tune and diamonds were their best friend. Fame, fortune and scores of suitors were inevitable. In the parallel universe of today the girls are still glamorous belters with a penchant for diamonds, but with one not-so-little difference: these two little girls from little rock are two little boys from Darlinghurst.
Courtney Act & Trevor Ashley team forces and take on some of history’s greatest duos as only they can. This hysterical musical comedy stars Australia’s two brightest stars of drag together in a full show for the first time. Both Trevor and Courtney have toured the country and indeed the world with their solo shows, having both just returned from individual seasons in Europe. This unique show is set to create new standards as Act & Ashley sing live, perform sketches, appear in camp video sequences and dish out their own brand of stand up.
Virginia Gay (All Saints, It Takes Two), was a late edition to the show after Courtney broke her leg skiing just as the show was about to open. Coming to the rescue as Courtney’s Celebrity Guest Nurse To The Stars the whole charade added such a great dimension to the show that the Adelaide Cabaret Festival insisted on Virginia and Courtney’s broken leg (which has now well and truly healed). And so Virginia will be returning to the return Sydney season also.
Trevor, Courtney & Virginia are sure to dazzle and with Phil Scott at the pen they are also sure to be, and cause, a riot.
We know that ladies (and of course gentlemen) will definitely prefer these blokes.
I am very excited for the 2009 Mardi Gras Festival. The Festival Guide gets launched today and all of the exciting acts will be revealed. I know Joan Rivers, Alan Cummngs & Roberta Flack are all included in the line-up which sounds fabby!
Trevor Ashley and I are teaming forces as well to bring to the stage a very camp musical comedy titled Gentlemen Prefer Blokes. Trevor Ashley, Phil Scott, Tony Taylor and myself have been working on the show for months now, and we are just getting ready to film some camp video sketches to stitch the madness together.
We open in Parramatta at the Riverside Theaters on February the 19th (the day after my birthday) and then in Sydney at the Civic Hotel Underground on the 20th of February all the way through to the 6th of March. The Civic has undergone some very glamorous refreshments featuring state of the art lighting and sound, white leather, mirrors and perspex for days!
